Legal Definitions - à prendre

À PRENDRE

À prendre is a French term that means "for taking" or "for seizure".

It is often used in legal contexts to refer to a right or permission to take something, such as in the case of profit à prendre.

• A farmer may have the profit à prendre right to take a certain amount of timber from a neighboring forest each year.
• A fisherman may have the à prendre right to fish in a particular river or lake.

These examples illustrate how à prendre is used to refer to a specific legal right to take or seize something. In both cases, the individuals have been granted permission to take a certain amount of a resource from a particular location.
